Chapter 397: Chapter 423: Sweeping Across

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Bai Jingjing thought to herself that the saying should be revised to think of the devil, and he shall appear.

Bai Jingjing never expected that she had just been thinking about this guy, muttering about him in her mind, and he actually showed up.

She was all too familiar with his voice. Bai Jingjing turned her head to look and saw that it was indeed Fang Yi.

Upon seeing Fang Yi, Bai Jingjing’s grip on the cup in her hand tightened, her tense face relaxing only after a moment, but she made a gesture that left Fang Yi speechless.

Bai Jingjing gave Fang Yi a thumbs-down.

Fang Yi couldn’t help but chuckle wryly. Was this girl saying that some part of him was small, or was she alluding to something else?

But Fang Yi didn’t dwell on it. He strode forward, and just then, a man stepped in front of him, blocking his way.

The man was none other than Wang Yuan. Having blocked Fang Yi, Wang Yuan looked down upon him with a gaze full of disdain.

"If you know what’s good for you, you’d better scram quickly; otherwise, I’ll make you beg for mercy later," Wang Yuan said coldly.

Fang Yi laughed, "I gather you don’t know who I am, do you?"

Wang Yuan scoffed, "I can’t be bothered to know who someone like you is."

Fang Yi replied, "You certainly talk big. Given such arrogance, I suppose you must be a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect."

Wang Yuan’s face subtly shifted as Fang Yi hit the mark with his guess.

Each major martial arts sect was originally hidden from the mortal world, rarely interfering in secular affairs, following a clearly defined rule—the sects were not to involve themselves in the mortal world. This decision was made by Xuan Cang’s higher-ups and was signed by several sect leaders at that time.

In other words, while disciples from the major martial arts sects could train in the mortal world, if they caused any trouble, and if Xuan Cang’s officials decided to crack down hard, those disciples’ sects could face severe consequences.

Therefore, this time Wang Yuan and company had stayed in the mortal world without causing a stir, keeping an exceedingly low profile, to avoid any mishaps that might provide a handle against them.

But now, the man before him knew their identities, which meant he was...

Wang Yuan’s expression darkened as he asked coldly, "Are you Fang Yi?"

Fang Yi touched his nose, smiling amiably, "I didn’t realize I was so well-known..."

Wang Yuan sneered, "Last time, you injured two of our Sky Sword Sect’s disciples, and I’ve been troubled about not being able to find you. Unexpectedly, you’ve delivered yourself to our doorstep. We don’t want to cause trouble, but now I’ll give you a chance; please leave quickly, or you’ll end up dying a grisly death."

Fang Yi sighed suddenly, "Are all the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect so arrogant and self-important?"

Wang Yuan replied, "That’s called confidence."

Fang Yi responded, "Confidence, huh... Good. Then let me shatter that confidence of yours."

In the next moment, Fang Yi suddenly struck out, throwing a punch toward Wang Yuan’s face.

Wang Yuan’s reaction was not slow; he actually saw Fang Yi’s strike coming, his expression changing drastically as he hastily retreated.

Once Wang Yuan steadied himself, he immediately shouted angrily, "Fang Yi! You dare to strike me?!"

Several men beside Wang Yuan all glared at Fang Yi with an unfriendly look, waiting with caution.

Fang Yi laughed carelessly and said, "So what if I strike you? You act so high and mighty—I’d like to see just how impressive the Sky Sword Sect’s disciples really are."

In the next moment, Fang Yi’s figure abruptly moved as he executed the Divine Travel Steps, charging towards Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was also at the Earth Level second rank, but at the moment, Fang Yi had not released his spiritual power, so Wang Yuan had no knowledge of Fang Yi’s actual strength. However, just as Wang Yuan had said himself, he was absolutely confident.

Right away, Wang Yuan shouted, "Stop him!"

As these words were uttered, several other Sky Sword Sect disciples immediately rushed toward Fang Yi, competing to be the first.

In fact, the Sky Sword Sect’s disciples were best at using swords, which is also why the sect was named as such, but this was the Mortal World. If they each walked around this modern city brandishing a sword, they wouldn’t need Fang Yi to make a move, for the guards would probably have already arrested them.

Therefore, they had to rely on their fists and feet, and fortunately, the Sky Sword Sect’s expertise was not limited to swordsmanship; they also had boxing techniques, leg skills, and other cultivation techniques.

Several Sky Sword Sect disciples came from the front, splitting to the left and right, with somewhat of an array formation in their movement.

The Sky Sword Sect, in fact, was most famous for not its swordsmanship but its Sword Array!

The steps and body movements of these men contained the essence of the Sword Array. Two approached from the front, drawing Fang Yi’s attention, while two others attacked from the left and right. The remaining two constantly roamed to add pressure on Fang Yi.

Fang Yi sneered coldly. The movements of these men indeed contained the essence of the Sword Array, but Fang Yi saw through them at a glance. He couldn’t quite understand why, but he had seen these sword techniques before.

Yes, among the books stored by the old man, aside from medical texts, there were also works on astronomy, geography, and some secret martial arts manuscripts. Fang Yi, being young and idle at the time, had flipped through them, and thus, he remembered them.

"Reading really pays off..." Fang Yi sighed inwardly.

Breaking this array was actually quite simple. The old man had written a comment under the description of this Sword Array: "Don’t overthink it; use brute force to break through!"

The two in front came charging, and a fierce smirk appeared at the corner of Fang Yi’s mouth. Then, he directly collided with them using Eight Extremes Fist.

Like two fleeting shadows, these two men were sent flying backwards, blasted away by Fang Yi’s punches.

At the same time, on both sides, two others came sweeping in with iron legs like a breeze sweeping fallen leaves in autumn. Fang Yi immediately employed Divine Travel Steps, easily dodging these legs, and then stepped out of their sweeping range.

When Fang Yi reappeared, he had already charged at one of the men.

Meanwhile, Wang Yuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, immediately shouted a warning, "Be careful!"

But it was too late, as the man was still sent flying by Fang Yi’s punch, crashing into a table and provoking a chorus of noisy shrieks within the bar.

"Don’t just stand there, attack together!" Wang Yuan made a quick decision, knowing that if the fight continued this way, they would be defeated one by one.

Hearing this, the remaining men all sprang into action, charging at Fang Yi from all directions.

"So you all come together, just as I wished." A cold glint flashed in Fang Yi’s eyes.

Eight Extremes Fist, the eighth extreme!

The men had barely reached Fang Yi when they all struck at him simultaneously, but they couldn’t stop Fang Yi’s fists. With Fang Yi’s Earth Level second rank strength and executing the eighth extreme of the Eight Extremes Fist, even those at the Earth Level third rank couldn’t block it!

The men were sent flying in all directions, crashing into the surroundings of the bar and throwing the entire place into chaos.

Fang Yi swept his gaze around and saw Jiang Tao not far away. He shouted at him, "Close the door, don’t let anyone out!"

Jiang Tao complied immediately and went to take care of it. Fang Yi’s words caused Wang Yuan’s expression to change; this was essentially trapping the enemy in an unescapable situation.

But Wang Yuan was also a proud individual. After all, his cultivation was second only to Zhou Hao, and he was a True Disciple of the Sky Sword Sect. Coldly snickering, he said, "Fang Yi, you really think there’s no one who can deal with you!"

Having said that, Wang Yuan charged at Fang Yi with the swiftness of lightning.

Fang Yi coolly responded, "You come; it’ll be the same."
